Lunchtime Mishnah

12:00 – 12:30 PM on Tuesdays, March 15 – May 31 (Zoom)

Take a quick break in the middle of your day to learn Mishnah, a central rabbinic text, with Rabbi Zeff. We will learn about what Mishnah is, how it works, and delve into some key mishnaic texts together. If you are curious about rabbinic text but have not studied any before, this class is for you! The class is taught by Rabbi Adam Zeff and will meet on Tuesdays from 12:00-12:30 PM on Zoom, beginning on March 15 and continuing through May 31.
Rabbi Adam Zeff

Rabbi Adam Zeff has served as Rabbi at Germantown Jewish Centre since 2010, after previously serving as Assistant Rabbi (2007-2010) and Student Rabbi (2002-2007). He received a B.A. in Anthropology from Yale University in 1990, a Ph.D. in Anthropology from the University of Pennsylvania in 1999, and rabbinic ordination from the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College (RRC) in 2007. Rabbi Zeff is active in religious dialogue with Christian and Muslim clergy and is on the Executive Committee of the Board of Rabbis of Greater Philadelphia. As someone who grew up Reform, experimented with Orthodoxy in college, studied at a Reconstructionist seminary, and is a member of the Conservative movement’s Rabbinical Assembly, Rabbi Zeff is comfortable in a wide variety of Jewish settings and modes of worship and practice. His core conviction is that diversity in Jewish life and in the wider world is the truest expression of the divine.
